Halo 3: Matchmaking Playlist Update 1
Posted by lukems at 10/9/2007 11:07 AM PDT
Halo 3's Matchmaking Playlists, just like Halo 2's, are dynamic and ever-changing entities. Even now in the perilous Bungie towers, we're looking at new hoppers, gametypes and modes to test for future iterations and changes of these playlists. Multiplayer Lead Tyson Green and test wunderkind David Gasca sent the following list of changes to us -- and these changes are live now:

 

  • Big Team Battle matches are now 16-player affairs.
  • In the Team Slayer playlist, the appearance of Shotty Snipers has been greatly reduced.
  • Now, when players veto Shotty Snipers, the game that results from the veto will not be Shotty Snipers.
  • In one-sided VIP matches, the attacking team will now see a waypoint for the VIP they are hunting.
  • In Lone Wolves, Slayer gametypes will appear more frequently.

Out there, past them trees. You see it? I see you.

Hot on the heels of our Guardian Postmortem it's a good time to take a traipse through the wooded spaces that encompass Guardian's ancient platforms. This week's Tag and Release features a set of images that show off the surrounds. Hopefully, they also show off our community files collection.

If you don't like what you see, then you probably have terribly bad taste. Not a problem though, you can find tons of images in our community files collection. There's bound to be something you like tucked away in our forest of fan crafted content.

Firefight Friday: Lost Zoo 

Posted by urk at 2/5/2010 9:08 AM PST

Up for a challenge?

HBO's FyreWulff prepped a new menagerie designed to deal death to any ODST daring enough to drop into Lost Platoon. No matter what difficulty you play on, he's got an animal that'll keep you engaged.  Jump into the ring!

"First week after launch, a new challenge for all difficulties! Drop into Lost Platoon and battle it out on foot - no vehicles are allowed. And have fun with the Wraith - the Laser has been banned from use.

The site is still in beta at the moment, but it's got a spiffy layout now. Should be out of beta in not too long."
